[libreoffice-users] Installation instruction for source code

Hi!

Forgive me if this question has already been asked, but I didnt't find
an answer after a quick search in the archives of this list.

How does one install LibreOffice from the source tarballs ? Are there
some instructions somewhere ?

There are 21 different files. Do they all need to be downloaded ?
And then, what should I do ?
Should they be combined in a giant directory or processed separately ?

I presume the next stage will be to do some invocation of

./configure
make
make install

I'm a little confused by the number of files to download. Wouldn't it
be simpler to just provide one giant archive, like it is done for the
different binary platforms ?
